Taxandria fragrans is a small shrub found only in a small region of SW Western Australia, growing in poorly drained soils.

The leafy tops are harvested to yield a unique essential with a range of therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. We source our premium Fragonia essential oil from this pioneering Australian family-run business.
